Letīs guess, two APS-C Lens that make sense as a complement to the Holy Trinity.
HD DA* 11-18 mm F2,8 ED DC AW (released)
HD DA* 16-50mm f/2,8 ED DC AW (redisigned, new optical formula?, HD coating)
HD DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 ED DC AW (redisigned, improved optics? + some tweaks?, HD coating)
Existing lenses so they do not have to be in roadmap.
HD 50 mm f/1.4 (just new coating and outer finish? It will be nice and easy to do. I guess not.)
"Large aperture wide angle single focus lens" Announcement of focal length? - Yes please.
Also make sense becouse D-FA* 85 mm is in production - small batch, premium quality - so soon there will be place for new high quality lens on a production line.
"DA standard zoom lens" seems to be new kit lens, so it make sense to release with new model.
-- Just extrapolation, letīs see on Friday.

And what about his way.
FF 70-210/F4 and announcement of DA 70-200/F4. This does make sense according to roadmap - ok, they maybe thrash DA 50-300 3.X-5.X and rather make DA 70-200/F4. If OoKU is right - and MAYBE he is just playing with our anticipations :D.

Just a guess, but the K-new may use IMX571BQR APS-C sensor from Sony. On the other hand, it may use Samsung sensor according some old speculation. I hope for 120p FHD, 4K at 60p is OK for me. And now, Pentax please deliver revamp of 16-50 f/2.8 and 50-135 f/2.8.

All you need is just slightly bigger barrel and that is almost all you need. Maybe some tweaks of optical formula, but these lenses are greate and I thing that this could be solid base for MILC kamera. And WR would be nice too. Try to find the same line in Sony ecosystem ...
Limiteds are great addition to high performance lenses and the budget one. Now i understand a KP much more.
Ok back to topic. Do you think, this could happend? Some of forum members write about it somewhere, but I am not sure where.
My argument pro is, that here could be just one barrel for all of these lenses, so this could be relatively cost effective.
And about the cons, I am not sure. I see no one. Maybe, that this lenses wouldn't be so fast, but who cares. F2.8 and anything faster is good enough with good optical formula. And who want faster ones, he can buy the * ones or budget line.
So is this possible or not?

Official Ricoh/Pentax FB page in Czech Republic said, that they quit selling Pentax K1.
As Kenspo wrote, it seems to me, something is going to happen.

Personally I think it is a bit higher, but it is not so bulky.

Here some more news from the guy in the video:
KP should focus fast (according him) even in low light and low contrast situations.
Buffer is for aprox. 60 photos JPEG/ 23 RAW and speed is about 8,3 fps. According his test, 50 JPEG in speed arround 5 fps (low light conditions), then it slows.
Shutter: 1/6000 sec; 1/24000 electronic
The price should by $1000+
KP is little bit bigger than K-3 II.
Button in the left corner of the back side is for horizontal level. It is possible to switch it on in the viewfinder.
IS should be able to around 5 EV (He has not try this out yet, but it should work pretty well according brief use).
IS is able to correct horizontal level.
It has wifi and smart phone APP control.
